I just recently signed up for this and received my first letter yesterday. Mine does not sound as if it is the same as the first letter received by those who started at the beginning. It seems I am jumping into the middle of something.

Well now. My latest one arrived today, I think I'm not missing but can I check contents with someone else who still receives this? Page 1 of a letter starting "My Esteemed Collabor-gator" One page Dept of Prohibition report on Bird's premises A book page - mine was from "A Lamb On Wheels" and is pages 115 & 116 A small envelope with a photo of a young girl, two pressed flowers, and a ripped in half spirit-writing poem
Of course Corwin gives Bird a pass because he/she has lost a daughter or younger sister and wants Bird to communicate with her
This is actually really growing on me. I feel the need to reread everything and start to build some sort of timeline, there's clearly a long-term plot going on here.

Well I've sat down with all four mailings so far, made notes on each and you know what....it does actually hang together to tell a story, things mentioned early on are referenced later, I'll give you a small example: package four was the most blatant clue, almost hitting us over the head with the thought that Corwin is protecting Mina Bird because she did him a seance with his dead daughter. So revisit the earlier mailings in that light. Who were the seances for? The first letter is from a Civil War soldier to his wife and children - one of whom is called Willie....and Willie is the person referred to in the newspaper in mailing three, and in mailing four as present at the Corwin reading: inference therefore is that Willie had Mina do a session with her father, who she never really knew due to her young age when he died, and when Mina delivered on this Willie offered Mina a place to work from.

Package #5 is now here, tying even more together - the newspaper from mailing 2 I think is now explicitly tied into the storyline....

I received a "mail list" email from Lauren George which suggests that a new experience will appear in October. This suggests that the letters experience has not done as well as hoped. The letters experience seems like it could have been really interesting, but I have no idea how people would continually come up with such amazingly creative things like MPC seems to be doing. Also, I would think that as more people start subscribing, the more difficult it would be to produce things like this and have them appear to be "original" documents. I'm still just floored by the entire concept of this company! Any word on the new experience that was supposed to appear in October?

I LOVED the haunted dollhouse and really WANTED to love the Letters from Dead People but frankly it just hasn't held my interest. I guess I prefer more "interactive" experiences. I REALLY hope she'll do more of those.

I REALLY hope she'll do more of those. Thanks for your response. I'm just realizing now that the Letters are actually from The Haunted Dollhouse creator. I am SO Far behind all of you! I've been pouring over everything, but there just aren't enough hours in the day. I really want creepy letters!

Does anyone recall if there is a shipping notification email when this mails out each month?

I seem to have been dropped from the list. I got only the one letter in Sep. And am not receiving any emails about future projects. . I really enjoyed the Haunted Dollhouse, but I refuse to fight for the right to pay money and participate.

Well off to contact the company to see if they are still in the business of mailing dead people's missives.

I related that I knew of someone who had not received anything and was asked to direct you to their website. Just an FYI for you!!
